common questions
where do you work?
seattle and the pacific northwest. we travel when the site and scope require it. recent builds include wenatchee, the long beach peninsula, and camp long in west seattle.
what happens after we reach out?
we reply within 2 business days. then we review the site, schedule, audience, and technical requirements. for weddings and events that usually includes a site walkthrough before we design the system.
are you a standard dj company?
we provide djing, but not as a standalone playlist service. wedding and event work can also include ceremony audio, lighting, live acts, pacing, and technical production.
what do you bring?
after reviewing the site and run of show, we specify the system. depending on the event, that can include multi-zone audio, architectural lighting, wireless microphones, and handoffs for live acts, speeches, and first-time djs.
can we see your work?
yes. the field notes archive holds full case studies of recent builds, and after the tone, our participatory telephone installation, is running online: you can listen to the archive and leave a message of your own.
